Basic Operation Procedures The SITC-15 and GITC-15 temperature controllers are ready to run from factory settings. Global Functions for GITC only: GLOBAL FUNCTIONS allow individual controller parameters or modes to be sent to the system or groups of controllers. Group setup is confi gurable in parameter (GITC P01). Up to 4 groups can be set. GLOBAL POWER ON/OFF: power on or off all controllers from any controller. Key sequence: *GLBL*, *POWER*, then *ENTER/START* Note*: If a controller is manually powered off, the function is disabled until powered back on manually. GLOBAL SETPOINT/PARAMETERS: Adjust setpoint or parameters on a single unit, and send the settings to all controllers. Key sequence: *GLBL*, *PMTR*, then *ENTER/START* GLOBAL MODE CHANGE: Change the mode on a single unit, then change mode system wide or within a group. (e.g. STANDBY or BOOST) Key sequence: *GLBL*, *MODE*, then *ENTER/START* GLOBAL CURRENT/VOLTAGE VIEW: View current and voltage on all controllers in the system. Key sequence: *GLBL*, *AMPS/VOLT*, then *ENTER/START* Note*: If changes need to be made to individual controllers, just apply changes and press *ENTER*. Basic Operation: Turn power on by pressing the *POWER* button. SOFT START mode: The controller will start in SOFT START mode if the process value is below 212 F or 100 C. After the SOFT START duration time (parameter (SITC - P16); (GITC - P20), the controller will go into AUTO mode (factory default). Note*: MODE changes cannot be made during SOFT START mode unless the lock is disabled in parameter (SITC - P17); (GITC - P21). SETPOINT CHANGE: To change the setpoint value, use the *UP* and *DOWN* keys to select the desired temperature then press *ENTER*. The minimum and maximum values for temperature and setpoint are 32-999 Fahrenheit (5-650 Celsius). 4

Mode: There are 4 running modes available: manual (open loop), automatic (closed loop), standby (idle), and boost. A solid lit LED indicates the mode the controller is in. To change mode: Press the *MODE SELECT* key until the blinking LED is over the desired mode, then press the *ENTER* key. A solid lit LED will indicate the current running mode. Note*: To exit the mode function with no changes, press the *MODE SELECT* then the *UP* or *DOWN* key. Siren will momentarily sound when status changes occur (GITC only) (e.g. when BOOST is enabled). ENTER MUST BE PRESSED AFTER ANY ADJUSTMENT (SUCH AS SETPOINT, PARAMETER, OR MODE) IS MADE TO STORE NEW INFORMATION. Standby and Boost: The controller has two confi gurations for standby and boost modes: auto or manual. Standby: AUTO-STANDBY - controller goes to the preset standby set-point temperature set in parameter (SITC - P15); (GITC - P19). MANUAL-STANDBY - controller goes to the preset % power set in parameter (SITC - P14); (GITC - P18). The controller will remain in STANDBY mode until it is manually changed to another mode, or by pressing *MODE SELECT* then *UP* or *DOWN*. Boost: AUTO-BOOST - controller goes to the preset BOOST set-point temperature set in parameter (SITC - P12); (GITC - P16). MANUAL-BOOST - controller goes to the preset % power set in parameter (SITC - P13); (GITC - P17). Controller will remain in BOOST mode until preset time has elapsed, set in parameter (SITC - P11); (GITC - P15). 5

Parameter Changes: 1. Press the *PMTR* key until the desired parameter is reached. (List of parameters is available on (SITC - Pg. 7) (GITC - Pg. 8). 2. Press the *UP* or *DOWN* key to change the options for the selected parameter. 3. When complete, press the *ENTER* key to store to memory. (Changes can be made to all parameters before pressing *ENTER*). To exit at any time, press the *ENTER* key. Error Reset: Upon detection of TOH, TSH, or HIA, the controller must be powered off, then on, to clear the error once the issue has been corrected. Refer to Pg. 9 for error codes. Special Functions (GITC ONLY): Even Temperature Rise: controllers will follow the slowest rising temperature in the system. Even temperature rise is an active procedure, so fl uctuation will occur during rise. Thermocouple Slaving at Startup: At startup, in the event of a thermocouple break, the controller will slave from a controller in the same group. Live-Swap: In the event of a controller change-out, the new controller will automatically inherit the parameters and settings of the previous controller. External Alarm Output: Relay for external alarm or light. Pinout on page: 14 Remote Standby Input: Switch input for system standby. Pinout on page: 14 6

(GITC only) NOTE: Power off controller before removing or inserting into mainframe J7 3 2 1 JUMPER Figure 3 Pin 1 & 2 - For newer style mainframes with anti-arcing protection. Pin 2 & 3 - For older style mainframes without anti-arcing protection. Anti-Arcing Protection: Jumper J7 is to prevent damage to the contact points of the controller when removed from the mainframe while power is still on. J7 is set to pins 1 & 2 by factory default. If the controller is placed in an older mainframe without anti-arcing protection, place jumper on pins 2 & 3. If jumper is placed incorrectly, a TOH error may occur (NO POWER OUPUT). 11

Mainframe Installation INSTALLATION AND SERVICE SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL ONLY! LOCATION: The proper location is important for dependable service. The control systems should be located so as to allow free air movement into and out of the mainframe. Consideration should be given to allow the least exposure to heat, dust/dirt, moisture, and corrosive vapors. The front of the system must be readily accessible for set up and adjustment purposes. It is recommended that a service disconnect switch be installed. This will provide a convenient means to completely disconnect all power from the temperature control system. CONNECTING INPUT POWER: 1. Remove the input power access panel, located on the right side of the mainframe by removing the 8 phillips head screws. (Fig 4a) 2. Select input cable size and confi guration based on load requirements and local electrical codes. Feed the cable through the cable clamp of the panel. (Fig 4b) 4. Strip wires and insert into the terminal block and tighten screws securely. (Fig 4a) 5. Replace the access panel. 6. Take up excess slack in the cable and secure with the strain relief clamp. 7. Route the AC input cable to a branch circuit (service) disconnect switch and connect to the fused side of the switch. Be sure the ground lead is attached to a proper earth ground. 8. Insert appropriate fuses for the main service fuse box. 12
